The information is essentially correct, but this is not new. In 1979, the Riksdag (Swedish parliament) introduced absolute primogeniture, meaning that the eldest child of the monarch, regardless of gender, is first in the line of succession. The change entered into force on 1 January 1980, making Sweden the first country to adopt absolute primogeniture. The king was not happy when the parliament decided to change the hereditary laws from male primogeniture to absolute primogeniture. At this point Prince Carl Philip, his son was already born and the heir to the throne. The king objected to to his son losing his status as the heir. However, as an adult Prince Carl Philip allegedly has stated that he is only happy his sister is the heir to the throne and not him. Crown Princess Victoria is very popular in Sweden, and no she did not have “an affair” with Daniel Westling. He was her boyfriend for more than seven years before her father gave in and let them get married. On the day of their wedding, facing the crowds from the palace balcony in Stockholm, Princess Victoria thanked the people “Thank you, for letting me have my Prince”. As for your ridiculous title, no the King has not destroyed his daughter’s life. And all accounts he now seems to have fully accepted that his eldest child is the heir to the throne and that after her it’s her daughter, the eldest child.
Why do these video owners allow the subtitles to make so many mistakes - sometimes quite amusing ones? Example here in this offering “harris” instead of “heiress”.

I agree - this video is not very respectful of the Swedish Royal Family.
